We'll build a tradition in this building for 30-40 years, and people will be more comfortable attending baseball games.

If you watch (players) and see them preparing to get ready for any game, they know what the rule is and you see them with the saws and files, trying to make their sticks perfect or as close as they can. The good players are right on the edge of every rule and stick measurement is no different.

If you three-putt to lose a tournament, it sticks with you. If you hit it in water to lose a tournament, it's no big deal. You can always say it was a bad shot or a bad (course) design or whatever.
